What a grand spectacle, with Trump boasting about his ‘sweeping’ government downsizing efforts while equating it to playing golf and ‘dominating’ Washington. Elon Musk gets to act as his personal ‘packer’ for federal employees, what a novel approach to managing the public workforce! His relentless tirades against past political adversaries, especially mispronouncing names with a gleeful grin, are nothing short of a reality TV show’s highlight reel. And don’t even get me started on the ‘fantastic’ friendship with a leader whose country is an ally to Ukraine. It’s a masterclass in misdirection and self-aggrandizement, folks!
